Actress Natasha Richardson has been taken off of life support at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, according to gossip columnist Liz Smith.

Ms. Richardson suffered a head injury while skiing in Quebec on Monday and was flown from Montreal Tuesday night to Lenox Hill.

The actress' husband, actor Liam Neeson, and their two sons, as well as Ms. Richardson's mother, aunt and sister -- actresses Vanessa Redgrave, Lynn Redgrave and Joely Richardson -- have all been at the hospital, Smith said.
